BLEAK HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BLEAK HOUSE sales between March 2006 and March 2015 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the July 2007 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might BLEAK HOUSE be worth now?

BLEAK HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £307,568.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.6%, between March 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLEAK HOUSE of £191,500 on 6th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £191,500 to £307,568 over the ten years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLEAK HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £191,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLEAK HOUSE has not materially changed since March 2015.
